Your Impact

What Your Gift Does at Pacific Symphony

You already know that a gift to Pacific Symphony helps to sustain our artistic excellence and innovative programming, along with community and educational outreach programs that touch tens of thousands of children and adults each year. You also already know that by attending Pacific Symphony, you’re supporting professional classical music in Orange County.

But what you might not know is that Pacific Symphony is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and that ticket sales only support about half (52%) of the music, education programs and community activities that we do.

What would only half as much activity look like?

Almost 78,000 people would lose access to world-class performances at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, including thousands of young children and their families that receive free tickets to experience the magic of music.

15 schools would lose the Frieda Belinfante Class Act program and the opportunity to explore themes of music and creativity throughout the school year.

Keeps violins in the hands of our Santa Ana Strings students all summer long

Brings FREE Symphony in the Cities neighborhood concerts to 10,000 people in three communities across Orange County

Helps us hire world-class artists and commission new works for the upcoming seasons
